I bought this Curta new in the early to mid 1960's. It was used on site (for survey) and in the office until 1973 when it was superseded by an HP 45. ( I still have that but it does not work. The Curta does). It was serviced by Contina in Liechtenstein about that time as well, as it was clear they would not be able to stand the competition. It's not mint; the grey paint at the base of the 1st and 2nd slides is worn, but otherwise it's presentable. It has a metal case, which is much scratched. The stalk in the top that presses on the handle came loose at one stage and was glued back on with epoxy. I don't have the instruction book, or the receipts for the purchase or the service. I'm in Cape Town |
